How to ring the system bell many times without pause?
I am writing a ksh script in cygwin though it could just as easily be bash and am trying to make an alert for myself where the bell rings many times like
or
except I want it to ping me many times not just once. For some reason doing
or similar doesn't work and I don't want a scenario where I am doing a loop around something like
as the pause is not wanted. Is there any easy way to do it?
hi everybody,
I just installed Suse on an old Packard Bell.
When the install was at detecting my moden, it hung. I couldn't free it sooooo, I pressed ctrl+alt+backspace.
Yup that killed the process alright.
The machine went right down and upon reboot it is now at the KDE welcome page.

This may seem like an odd question, but I've heard that on old Alpha servers running OpenVMS, you could pause the system so that the OS is essentially suspended for a small period of time, then unpause it and it would pick up where it left off. During the pause, all CPU cycles would be halted, all... (3 Replies)
I am running OpenIndiana development version oi_148 32-bit on a seven-year-old Dell Inspiron 8600.
Seems to be running fine except for one particular annoyance: It freezes whenever a system bell/beep plays.
I have mitigated this by turning the system bell off in gnome-terminal, which I use... (3 Replies)

XDeviceBell(3X11) X FUNCTIONS XDeviceBell(3X11)NAME
XDeviceBell - ring a bell on a device supported through the input extension
SYNTAX
Status XDeviceBell(Display *display, XDevice *device, XID *feedbackclass, XID *feedbackid, int *percent);
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
device Specifies the device with which the bell is associated.
feedbackclass
Specifies the class of the feedback with which the bell is associated.
feedbackid Specifies the id of the feedback with which the bell is associated.
percent Specifies the volume in the range -100 to 100 at which the bell should be rung.
DESCRIPTION
The XDeviceBell request causes the server to ring a bell on the specified feedback of the specified device, if possible. The specified
volume is relative to the base volume for the bell. If an invalid device is specified, a BadDevice error will be returned. The feedback-
class and feedbackid parameters contain values returned by an XGetFeedbackControl request and uniquely identify the bell to ring. If a
feedbackclass is specified that does not support a bell, or if a nonexistent feedbackid is specified, or a percent value is specified that
is not in the range -100 to 100, a BadValue error will be returned.
The volume at which the bell is rung when the percent argument is nonnegative is:
base - [(base * percent) / 100] + percent
The volume at which the bell rings when the percent argument is negative is:
base + [(base * percent) / 100]
To change the base volume of the bell, use XChangeFeedbackControl.
XDeviceBell can generate a BadDevice or a BadValue error.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device was specified. The specified device does not exist, or has not been opened by this client via XOpenInputDe-
vice.
BadValue An invalid feedbackclass, feedbackid, or percent value was specified.
